This year, as we celebrate the 70th anniversary of Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden, we gather at the intersection of ‘Awakening of Memory’ and ‘Loving the Land’. First launched in 2025, ‘Loving the Land’ talk series continues through this year as an invitation to reflect on love and memory not simply as ideas, but as living practices – rooted in care, stewardship, reciprocity and our evolving relationship with the land.

This series brings together a collection of ‘in-house’ talks and dialogues as part of our online programme, marking this special milestone in KFBG’s journey. Over the past 70 years, KFBG has grown from its early humanitarian roots into a centre for nature conservation, regenerative agriculture, holistic education and sustainable living – with much of this work grounded in the landscapes of Hong Kong. Through these sessions, we share insights from projects and practices carried out on the land, offering a closer look at how care for nature is cultivated locally and over time.

Running until the end of 2026, the series invites participants from Hong Kong and across the world to learn from KFBG’s ongoing work and those engaged in caring for land and community. Through these shared experiences, we explore how loving the land is expressed in practice, and how this can deepen our sense of connection, responsibility and belonging within the wider Earth community.

• Kadoorie Earth Programme (KEP) is co-created by KFBG and its network of collaborators and volunteers. By integrating the various strands of KFBG’s nature conservation, sustainable living and holistic education programmes, it provides life-transforming learning experiences that reconnect people with themselves, each other and the rest of nature and enable them to cultivate resilience in the face of climate crisis, economic uncertainty and other related challenges.
• Nature Art Programmes: Immerse yourself in silent contemplation of nature. Deepen your awareness of beauty and connect with nature through art. KFBG organises a variety of art workshops including Zentangle drawing, sketching and wood art, and exhibitions to guide participants, with or without artistic background, to create nature art.
• Nature Education Programmes: Become animal detectives and explore the mysteries of wild animals. Use different senses to discover the beauty of plants. Learn about the significance of forest, trees and even soils through field visits, experiments and woodwork, to reconnect with nature.
• Group Guided Tours: Led by trained environmental interpreters, the content includes experiential and hands-on activities. We encourage a passion for nature, conservation and ecology by nurturing an appreciation of the natural world.
• Corporate Programmes: Our Holistic Education Department staff can design either half-day or full-day nature education and art programmes for corporate staff or their family members based on specific needs. Leveraging the unique natural landscape and cultural ambiance of Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden, our activities may include guided tours, farm-to-table experiences, nature-based workshops, talks and art activities, aiming to promote understanding and practice of sustainable living for organisations.
